Just when you think you have the slowest car on the planet, a V6 Stang comes along and makes it all better.
On my way to work, I'm coming up on an intersection with an A**hole lane. There's a semi truck in the through lane, and I'm trying to get to work, so I swing out to the outside lane so I can get by the truck. Well, in front of the truck, sitting where I could not see him before, was a brand new red Mustang. I look for a second, and it has a single-exit exhaust and a pony emblem on the front quarter. Still, though, its intimidating- it's a Mustang after all. So we sit side-by-side at the light for a while, and I get my gumption up. So I figure, what the heck, I'll run him. Heck, he may not even try- usually that's the case at this particular intersection. But he's got his girl with him, so he'll have to run it, on general principle.
Green light. We both light 'em up, and all he saw was back bumper. :bowdown:
I merged a full car and a half in front after about 500 feet. Shut down at about 65 mph (speed limit 45). And then in a move to demonstrate his massive amounts of horsepower, he rides me about 12 inches off my back bumper for the next mile or so, as I'm doing abut 57 in the 45. We get to the next light (only one lane, he's still behind me), and then the street widens to 2 lanes again, speed limit 35 now. And of course, he does the ricer flyby, giving me a dirty look, and me giving him the biggest cookie-eating grin I can muster. I looked like this :biggrin:
Crap like that makes it all worthwhile. And as close to stock as my car is (intake and gutted precats), it makes me really look forward to what a full-on cat-back and losing this stock muffler will do for me. Soon...
